We support cities and municipalities and their companies, states, federal government, associations and NGOs in various questions of financial management and VRV 2015, organisational and administrative development, control and management systems, citizens and customer service and strategy and innovation development. Individual, tailor-made and demand-oriented solutions help our customers to use their potential. Solution orientation, accuracy of fit and feasibility are important standards for us. A partnership-based cooperation, transparent and professional project management are important foundations for a sustainable, trusting and reliable cooperation.

Finding solutions, promoting exchange of experiences, shaping innovations, sharing knowledge.

In exchange with partners from politics, administration, and research, we develop concrete solutions for local and regional challenges, which can also be applied elsewhere. Exchange of know-how at European and international level enables us to make new knowledge available to our customers and members. Good governance, transparency, open government, and sustainability are the focus of our work. We always strive to set out on new and innovative paths.

• Urban Policy in Europe
• CAF-Centre and Reform of Public Administration
• Open Data

We develop forward-looking models to optimise the management and financing of public services within the multi-level system (federal government - provinces - municipalities). It is a matter of particular concern to us to further improve cooperation between the actors in federalism.

Priorities

• System of Financial Equalization and Federalism
• Transparent public finances
• Financing and management of public services

Our studies are carried out on behalf of the federal government, the provinces and municipalities as well as other key actors, such as the Association of Austrian Towns and Cities or the Vienna Chamber of Labour. This is supplemented by projects within the framework of research funding.
